ReWebSocketServer

This is a simple prototype and demo of a server for streaming messages to Reglome Explorer users via websockets.

Each user connects a websocket to /streamer/uniqueid and server side services can post messages to /results/uniqueid

POST request should have the message in the "results" form value.

Multipart request are not supported but can be.

Websocket server based on code from the google io demo.
